请问ACCA和年龄的问题

我有一个朋友本身是学文科,毕业后在国内也是干相关工作,后来来英国读了一个一年的master也是文科的。毕业后发现她本人的专业和以往的工作经验很难在英国找到工作,于是想学ACCA。但是她都已经快40岁了,我觉得是不是太晚了。用几年学完ACCA后,还是一点经验没有的新人,而且年龄那么大了,找工作不是更难吗?可她执意要留在英国,我也没有办法说服她。有高人能给讲讲像她这样的人是不适合再去读一个ACCA 呢?或者其它什么和ACCOUTING有关的相对快点,容易点,能帮助她在英国就业的什么专业?我实在帮不了她,请达人们指点迷津。。。。

不晚,不晚,但如果想在UK找个工作,还是读ACA吧,也就是ICAEW,Institute Chartered Accountant of England & Wales.

这个是英国政府认可的有签字权的,ACCA在UK没有签字权!

你说的那个是不是只能在英格兰和威尔士用呢,其它UK地区(苏格兰\北爱) 有效吗?

首先,不是读了ACCA就可以就业的,她应该明白…就业不是任何东西可以保证的,除非是他找到工作,然后公司要求有相关的资历…否则读完也找不到工作…他不是会计专业的话,ACCA要从头开始,也就是一科都不能免,10+门的话,少说也要2年以上…而且考完以后没有工作经验的话,照样不可以做QUALIFIED ACCOUNTANT,就算找到工作,起薪和毕业生是一样的,因为考完ACCA而没有工作经验的年轻人大把,想必如果你是HR,你也不会用一个相对年纪大,但是工作经验不足的人来做一样的工作吧…相比楼上说的ACA,其实跟ACCA一样,都是会计认证,但ACA是四大的必备…也即是说所有四大的人,都要求考哪个…一共9门,看似比ACCA科目少,但是难度更大, 如果你朋友感兴趣的话,可以自己去官网看下,注册报名考一个CFAB,也就是ACA的BASIC LEVEL,一年考完6门,然后给你个认证,报名费和教材费大约是300胖子,然后每门考试在60左右…BASIC的6门考试都是机考…也就是全是选择题,ACA后三门考试是PAPERWORK,最后的CASE STUDY是考试4个小时无休息,考卷是40页+

anyway任何认证,不是说只有考试就可以的,也不是就交个钱考试而已,让你朋友在费用,时间,精力和日后发展上做个衡量…再决定

北果是scotland,或者是北爱的话,也有他们自己认可的会计资格证,scotland的是ICAS, institute Chartered accountant of Scotland,

北爱的我就不清楚了!你可以google一下。

不过这些资格证只是在自己政府指定的地区内被认可。

果然是考过ACA的家属,40+页这样考卷,放在我面现,我就直接无视+晕倒{:5_147:}

acca有签字权,而且还是在很多国家。

嗯,比如新加破。还有欧盟的几个国家。可惜在UK没有,该死的,万恶的UK government

uk有,不知道你是在哪里看的。如果你是欧盟国籍的话,整个欧盟都有签字权。
去wiki上看吧,acca官网也有。 考这么久了,有没有签字权你还没搞清楚,那谁还考P7啊。 只有考了那一门才有审计签字权。

United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland

  • The ACCA or Chartered Certified Accountant qualification is fully recognised in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
    o Under the Royal Charter granted by Her Majesty the Queen, ACCA works in the public interest.
    o ACCA is a Designated Professional Body under the Financial Services and Markets Act, licensing firms of Chartered Certified Accountants to conduct a range of incidental investment business activities.
    o ACCA is a Recognised Professional Body under the Insolvency Act to issue permits to individual Chartered Certified Accountants to conduct insolvency appointments.
    o ACCA is also a Recognised Qualifying Body and Recognised Supervisory Body in relation to company auditing under the Companies Act 1989.
    o ACCA is a member of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB). Members of these bodies are deemed to hold equivalent-level qualifications and advertisements for jobs often state that an organisation is looking for a CCAB-qualified individual.
    o Full members of CCAB organisations including ACCA can apply for ICAEW membership subject to certain criteria. Details
    o Only ACCA, ICAEW, ICAI, ICAS and AIA are able to authorise members to conduct audit, insolvency and investment business work in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
  • Outside these countries, legal recognition by government authorities, and mutual recognition by equivalent overseas institutes, varies from country to country. Even where full legal or mutual recognition is not available, ACCA members can sometimes obtain advanced standing in terms of sitting local accountancy examinations. Additionally, in many instances, ACCA’s strong global reputation may obviate the need to acquire a local designation.
  • Similarly, many (although not all) universities and educational providers will recognise ACCA as equivalent to at least a Bachelor degree in accountancy, for the purpose of obtaining credit to acquire a local Masters degree or enter an advanced study program.

The Irish educational regulatory authorities - Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC) has assigned ACCA Qualification to Level 9 of the Irish National Qualifications Framework (NQF) in 2008. Level 9 holds Irish postgraduate qualifications, such as postgraduate diplomas and masters degrees.
[edit] European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) & Switzerland

  • The ACCA qualification is legally recognized by all member countries of the European Union under the Mutual Recognition Directive. This recognition extends to the European Economic Area nations and Switzerland. For example a holder of the ACCA or Chartered Certified Accountant qualification could practice as an accountant in all member countries of the European Union, European Economic Area and Switzerland, but could only describe him/herself as ACCA or Chartered Certified Accountant rather than local professional accountant qualification. Access to local professional qualifications is based on an aptitude test. However, it is necessary to be a citizen of one of the EEA states or Switzerland to benefit from this Directive.

其实你说的和我想得一样,这个我早和她探讨过了。没办法她就是想留在英国。那是不是可以建议她先找一个类似的工作先干着呢,小公司或者不给钱的那种也成吧。(她现在是PSW),然后可以边工作边学习,不过就是钱紧张点了。你觉得这样可行吗?

什么是签字权呢?

再问个问题啊,即然都有签字权,为什么这边的四大更prefer qualify 了ACA人呢???

而且中国的CPA现在也只与ICAEW签属了互免协议

话说,总觉得学ACCA很受歧视{:5_145:}

签属审计报告的权力

你可以给她这样的建议,小公司很少有这种POSITION,大地方又有很多人抢…还有一点,你根他说,没有公司的条件下去混经验,未必人家都肯…毕竟她的想法和我们的也许不一样…我们是直接出学校的,人家是在社会上工作过的…

看来她的前途不太明朗嘛。。。干脆劝她找个人嫁了得了。。。。不过她又是那种比较独立的人呀!看来我帮不了她了。。。

审计的,意义不大。

我就是边工作边学习,白天上班做我的BUSINESS ANALYST,晚上回家奋笔疾书的学CIMA,如果说公司给你FULL STUDY SUPPORT的话就很好,甚至考试费用都不用自己出,但是这样的机会竞争很激烈,况且他的专业也不对口…如果说他有那个实力可以看书的话,一门考试的成本除了考试费和报名费,也就在几十胖子,NOTES什么的可以在网上找以前的,下载自己看,然后买个官方教材就可以了…ACCA的话,所有的14门考试下来,也得小1000胖子了…至于上课,如果是CLASSROOM 的TUITION,一门PART TIME的,上4天就要500左右,REVISION两天400左右,ONLINE 课程相对便宜些,有那种ONLINE LIVE和DISTANCE的,ONLINE LIVE是在给你看录像,上课,跟教室上课时同步的,只是你在自己家用电脑上课而已,费用大约是450左右,而DISTANCE就是远程教育,相对便宜些,但是资料跟其他的相比只是PAPERWORK和电子题库
因为我是考CIMA的,以CIM为例,SUBSCRIPTION一年是90, 注册费是150,然后LEVEL 1考试一门是60胖子左右,LEVEL 1一门的辅导是430左右…所以LEVEL 1的所有花费就是2000左右。如果你自学的话,教材30,EXAM KIT 10,练习册好像是20+。然后再加上考试费用的60+,一个LEVEL1 也需要500+。 CIMA一共5个LEVEL,而LEVEL 1是最便宜的…依此类推,不是一个小数目…
ACCA和ACA也是这样,只是考试级别不同,费用不同,你可以参看官网和KAPLAN FINANCE

AUDITING…

走的路线不一样。 aca必须是有工作的,雇主培训才给qualify
acca是谁都可以考的类型,工作自己找,能不能qualify靠自己吧。 而且acca qualify 几年之后可以转ICAEW
ICAEW和ICAS 是可以互转的。 据说ICAS的ca比ICAEW的aca要简单。另外历史最长的是 苏格兰 icas的 CA

哦,说到CIMA 我倒想了解一下它和ACCA的不同,这个是不是更偏重于银行的工作呢? 我现在是在一个小公司做TREASURY,就是简单的BOOKKEEPING,可以学CIMA 吗, 还是ACCA呢? 我其实比较喜欢算钱,但不喜欢分析什么的。我该学什么资格证书呢?
